GPSdepot has posted a review of the Garmin StreetPilot 2610. They say they have used most every available automotive GPS on the market from Garmin, Magellan, TomTom, etc. Here is a summary of how their review stacked up:

The reason [the] Garmin 2610 is superior is because: 1. Even though its screen is small and only capable of 256 colors, it is very very viewable under the sun light. 2. Map is very good, I have yet to find an address it could not find. 3. Satellite acquisition is fast and reliable. 4. Voice navigation is good, if a bit too frequent. 5. Takes CF cards, which is cheap, fast, and high capacity.

Now things that can make it even better: 1. A better car gps mount system. How about a good window mount? 2. Bigger LCD screen, resolution, and colors. 3. Internal battery would be good. 4. Reduce its bulky size. Tomtom can put everything in that small package and battery. 5. Make its user interface more friendly.
